Nose: Very delicate with hints of white grape and rusk biscuits. Damp oak leads to something floral, with hints of honeysuckle, melon, and a touch of fennel. In time, vanilla sweetness joins.
Palate: Nutty praline and delicate caramel grip the palate with an instant coating before a smack of drying oak kicks in. Green peppercorns, nutmeg, and clove bring a brilliant tickle of warmth.
Finish: Spiced caramel lingers, with earthy notes of vanilla pod, chalky candies, and more tingles of woody spice.
